put it on the blog, rockin like this my job

It's bad. It's bad when my friends and neighbors are telling me I'm a bad blogger. It's bad when it's true.


There was a time when I was full of inspiration and jokes. (haha see? that was a joke.) I was getting 10's and even the occasional 20's of comments. These friends and neighbors stopped me on the street to tell me what a good laugh I gave them or how they didn't fold their ginch either. It was glorious. Lately, for no apparent reason, I seem to have gone kinda out of service. Is there nothing to say? That doesn't usually happen to me. So naturally I still have plenty say.



I'm here to say that I think I'm taking up the blog again. I make no promises other than I should most likely get my act together to post more than once a month. I'll continue to be real, maybe entertaining, maybe not. There will still be pictures, predominately of my own children for my viewing pleasure more than yours, because frankly it would be weird if I posted other peoples kids all the time. I'm talking like this is a favor to my readers, all hail me for coming back to blogging even though I never really even left. But whatever and now that I have said it out loud I better do it or you will have a good laugh at my failure. Either way I would appreciate your continued support in the commenting department, it makes me so happy to know I'm not talking to myself. So even though I say this blog is for me my ego would take a hit if the comments went down and I would be truly devastated. Yep, devastated no other word for it.



Ok, that was weird that I just wrote all that, but it took like 10 mins so I'm leaving it.

So do you know what the rage is? I heard it on tv one time. Hate lists. That's right. You heard me. I guess you makes a video and youtubes it. Well, I don't like the sound of my voice, so I'm going old fashioned. I blog, it's what I do now.

And because I'm nice I'll put the disclaimer. I'm here for you, or is it me, I'm so confused. If something that you do or like falls into my category of hate we can still be friends, we can even talk about it! I'm just having some fun here. I'm not a hater or a negatron, (though some may disagree, you know who you are...) just playin my game.



We know I hate feet but...
I hate long toenails
I hate my nasal problems
I hate tip jars at pita pit or booster juice and the likes, as if you think you need a tip for that
I hate how many shows are on tv about cake and little people
I hate Justin Beiber. I'm so confused at how he came to be. Is he the try hard geeky kid at school who made it because deep down Usher and Timberland are making fun of him and laughing behind his back at his hair and buttoned sweaters?
I hate when stuff breaks especially if I paid for it
I hate being cold
I hate when people sign cheers at the end of their emails
I hate when summer isn't on time
I hate flats, but I wear them sometimes anyway
I hate laundry
I hate baby talk, even when I do it I hate myself for it
I hate people that are too cool for Raymond and have a secret 'I'm better than you' look in their eye because they 'got out' Well guess what, I came back willingly...for the most part.
I hate dull pencils
I hate that I haven't downloaded new music in like a year, A YEAR!
I hate boys names for girls (and that's just me!)
I hate that I have no TVO right now
I hate nicknames (that's just how I feel right now at this moment, it's allowed to change and I might call YOU a nickname tomorrow because I used to really like them)
I hate that I pay a mortgage on a house I don't even live in
It hate 'sugar free' treats. don't healthy up my stress reliever, I want it to be good
I hate when people are like you don't watch whatever show oh my gosh it's so good the best show ever blah blah blah. i'm most likely not gonna take it up so quiet that down will ya.
I hate how bad I am at golf and still want to play it
I hate that I was excited to download the pictures off my camera because I couldn't remember what was on it and there weren't any there which means I haven't taken any pics in like a month. I better go check my dads.



ok, ok I'll stop, but that was some good times.

I found some pictures! And I sure don't hate any of them! Alli had her ballet recital on the weekend. It was cute of course. She was a little more shy on stage than she was at the Christmas show, but of course I was a beaming stage mom and thought she was the cutest.


Also, Alli didn't want a picture with me but I made her and you can tell she could care less, but this is for you Jacklyn cause I thought my hair looked good so I put it in. Yep, still vain, don't hate me for it...

Jacklyn

Jacklyn said...

and I love flats. What do still wish we could wear Docs every day. Come on lins

Alysha Sladek said...

hooray for another post! I love your hate list ;) Agree with SOOO many things!! love the pics. Alli's growing up way too fast! And holy hot stuff missy!

Just Rhonda said...

oh man great list. hahahahah. And I agree with Jacklyn about the nicknames. That's like classic Lins.

Susie said...

I hate your hate list because I have too much i want to say & then I go to comment and I got nothin. I do love Derek snuggling with MY kids & that they made the cut more than Jame-o. Also that was a great day when you were looking so GOOD & it was so sunny I couldn't even see your eyes. Allaroo looks breathtaking.
Cheers
I know too far it's not even funny now. That's ok you are the funny one

whitney said...

Don't worry, you can't get worse at blogging than me.
Your hate list made me laugh. I can picture you ranting about a few of them!
I thought I was going to be funny and say cheers, but apparently I'm not the only one.
Ah what the heck, CHEERS Linds!

The Byams said...

your not a negatron ALL the time! hahah jk i love your post and alli is a beauty and so are you!

Kaycee said...

Long time reader first time commenter! I agree with the sugar-free treats, 100%.

Life Is Golden said...

Very impressive... I don't know why but I think I may have even snort laughed a little when I read the Raymond comment... because even though I'm not from there... I know exactly what you're talking about... lame.
Don't even get me started about the whole "cheers" thing... my Dad and cousin always say "Ciao" when saying goodbye via phone/email/person, and I cringe every time. Blah.
Anyways... thought I'd leave a comment since you shamelessly advertised for one... ha! Just teasing... and I know what you're thinking... "I don't even know you... you're not allowed to tease", but we know a lot of the same people and have similar hate lists so that's practically knowing you. Great great post.

Stephanie Walburger said...

Ok linds! This blog made my day!!! I love the things you hate. haha. seriously thought. i agree with a few of them. I mostly love your adorable little ballerina!! She is the cutest! And I also love your hair! I'm actually a bit jealous of it. I wish mine would look like yours. Anyway. Good Blog. Welcome back!

Ashley Dawn said...

Well, you got over 10 comments. You should be feeling good. I'm so glad you wrote that. I think everyone feels it, they just won't admit it! You look great and you have darling children!!

Stephanie said...

You are right, your hair looks really good!! And Alli is the cutest ballerina ever! Your hate list is totally you, it made me laugh.

Karen said...

Wow, I don't even know what to say except... Seriously how did- "people walking on the tread mill at 90% incline while holding on for dear life" NOT make it on to the Hate List? And, I'm sure glad you didn't say you hate people that are to cool for Magrath and have a secret 'I'm better than you' look in their eye because they "Got out" because really if we are being honest I so feel like this, really Magrath or Edmonton where would I rather reside... You know you want to come back Lindsay and I know I'll probably get linched for this one but, Raymond, Magrath, what's the difference!!!

Em and Tom said...

I came too late. All the good jokes are taken. Jack would say "as always" so I got nothing. Except I think i agree with 98% of your hate list. Is Linz a nick name? Cause too bad, that's what I call ya!!!!!!! See ya soon love. My friend has taken to calling people that and I thought I'd try it out on you.

Jaime said...

Your list made me chuckle. Amen to the Justin Bieber, tip jars, summer time, boy names for girls and a whole bunch of others!
I am guilty of the best TV show ever--Glee, come on Lindsay--watch it, watch it:)

Brooke said...

Apparently, everyone's been awaiting your return. You already know I jealous of your hair, and I'm secretly jealous that you're down there...Edmonton just isn't the same without you and Sus.

Kristi Drennan said...

What in the blazes? 16 comments and you're a blog slacker. Sheesh!!!! Jokes jokes! Well after I calm down and stop laughing at this post I'll tell you that I too hate my nasal issues, paying a mortgage on a house you don't live in may just be the suckiest thing in the whole entire world, and I can NOT STAND being cold. Amen.

PS- I say blog when you want to. For me they are always the better posts...that's why I've slowed down. AND this months ensign article made me laugh out loud. Did you see that about blogging. OOOPS that's me!!!

Kristi Drennan said...

PPS- Just sayin'.

Christal said...

LOVE this post so funny!! Love the hates too I have so many of the same and a few I could add! You do make me laugh and you have some dang cute kids too! love the pics! AND WRITING EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT NO MATTER WHAT! ttys

Tyler and Kristin Smith said...

I wanted to be comment #20.
Just to make you feel great.
I felt it was the good thing to do and all, since you made me laugh from your post.

Brittany said...

well linz either your hate list made alot of people hate you or love you...I couldn't agree more with a couple but seriously the nicknames? Who wants to be wasting all that time calling people by their full names. So do you cringe everytime I wear flats cause I have a love hate thing for them i always feel that I need a little height but can't get past how much more comfy flats are. I do actually hate one nickname and it goes a little something like BBB

Mandy said...

You probably don't know me, but you've probably seen me around because I live in Raymond. I hope you don't think it's stalkerish that I read your blog. You're really funny. I LOVE your hate list and I think I'm insipred to do one on my blog. I was at the dance recital to support my friends (the adult group) and your daughter's group was the best looking dancers there. I loved their costumes. They did great!
